But there are checks and balances. While the employer will pay REDARDLESS. Expenses are usually checked and a reprimand will probably be placed if deemed excessive....we can play hypotheticals all day....a company wouldn't be happy if you stayed at the pricey hotel across the street instead of the conferences hotel. Or a dinner that's a $1000 because you bought multiple shots for the whole bar....Terms are usually set and understood beforehand (corporate walmart execs have to, or use to, share hotel rooms on trips.) *I have no problem with a president of a large university traveling for business across the world to use business class. I guess the terms are still being worked out still after all these years at NDUS, as whether we agree or not it appears some new rules will be coming from the NDUS thanks to this.

I've had the same problem. But I have found out that the key is to (on computer) click the "quote box" in the upper left...You will see a "direction arrow" pop up. Click it. Then Delete. Before that I kept trying to just "delete it" by continually hitting the "backspace" button to no prevail.

That's a good point too. I guess UND could try and put it into a contract or get a lot of money if kicked out. And While pissing off other programs, they would probably still schedule UND, or accept us back if need be.

That's a good point. UND turns down the Big Ten and then Denver turns around and accepts. Ouch. I would think the Big Ten would prefer a Division I schools.

I waited in line at 3 or 4 am in the cold and was fifth to last to get tickets. Probably have to be even earlier next year.

Morgan R. Olsen also got his Masters Degree from UND. I'd have to think he's probably near the top of the list.

No surprise there.

...

Best atmosphere I've experienced.

Just all part of "doing business." Good work if you can get it... Watches sports and parties with people with deep pockets. "Hey wanna go to the NCAA Final Four basketball games, how about Taylor Swift? I'm buying!"

Image rotation. I like how you integrated the UND flame logo into it.

That was evident when you hadn't heard "Fighting Hawks" by a broadcaster til last weekend.

I have the same access to the games as you. I use "Big Sky TV" for Basketball games and NCHC.tv for hockey games. And Iheartradio if I feel like listening to the games instead.

You must not watch or listen to UND games very often.

That's the biggest reason to say "No thanks." I like the consistent Friday and Saturday game times. Just need to grow (have UND win more game and build a tradition/fan base at) the Frozen Faceoff and UND is in a near perfect situation. When gosh forbid UND might need a "home field advantage" to win the autobid to make the tournament. Being in the NCHC gives two pretty easy road trips to Duluth and St Cloud. If it aint' broke don't fix it.

The nice thing about the NCHC is you can be the 6th best team out of the 8 in the conference and still make the NCAA tournament.

I have to assume that the B1G is looking to expand for the same reasons.

FYI, Harvard plays BC tomorrow. Should be a good game. Harvard still plays: Yale, Rensselaer, and Cornell, and possibly BU, who are all top 16 in Pairwise. Michigan on the other hand doesn't play anyone left in the top 16 with an average schedule remaining Pairwise of 33.

Harvard could bump Michigan at 4. And Q and Harvard could stay in the East, with Michigan and UND playing in Cincinnati. Who knows at this point, lots of hockey left.

Nightmares of Grant Poltuny scoring a OT goal vs Maine a long time ago, still clouds my judgement.

Yup. I'd probably take my chances in Cincinnati where Miami probably won't be in the tournament thus not having an actual home team. Vs a potentially packed X full of Gopher fans. UND vs Minnesota at the X for a potential spot in Tampa would be fun though. (Gophers and Michigan are tied for first in the Big Ten. The Big Ten tournament is in St. Paul this year. Thus the Gophers not having to leave the state of Minnesota til the Frozen Four.)

Maybe, but SCSU going 2-0 this weekend helps solidify UND's PWR. Flipping with SCSU doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things as its usually the difference of playing the 13th vs the 15th teams. I'd say staying in the top 4, and not having to play a top 4 team possibly in the regional is more important.

I always cheer for the NCHC. So I'm glad to see SCSU win, as it helps UND's PWR.

That's a pretty amazing flip.
